When Rose woke up the next day, Rune informed her that he was ready to open the gateway. That was the only statement shared between them. She went on to have a quick bath. Afterwards, she joined Rune, who was facing the forest with a greenish stone in his palms. “Are you sure you are better now?” she eventually asked when the silence between them started to make her feel weird. “We can stay back till you feel-”“No. I am okay.” He grunted confidently to prove his point, then returned to focusing on the stone. Moments later, he tsked and murmured, “Why is it not working?”“Is something wrong?”“The gate should be open by now. I am putting all my focus on it.”“It will never work,” responded the voice of Rune’s mother. Quietly, like a vampire on a hunt, the woman stepped into the sunlight, the ridiculous straw hat on her head making her look like a royal servant. “You can’t leave yet, my son.”“What bullshit are you trying to pull this time?” Rune asked tiredly.The Luna Dowager fixed

“I will be fine,” Rose urged Rune, who had just told her that he needed to meet his mother. “I can’t help but feel that something might go wrong,” he continued, his worry multiplying as seconds passed. “Putting the Luna Dowager in her place is necessary. We also need the assurance that she will not back away from our deal,” Rose pointed out. She then got up and walked to the nearest window. “I know it is silly to claim that I would be perfectly alright. But as much as possible, I am going to stay safe.” She faced him. “I will lock the doors and draw the curtains.”Rune sighed. “If only my powers were protective.”“Powers? Oh, never mind.” Rose recalled how he easily zapped them out of places. “Rune, the more you put it off, the worse it gets. Get it done and come back to me.”His eyes lit up, and he got up from the patterned sofa. “I will be quick.”“I will be waiting.” If they were not under exigent circumstances, their conversation could have simply been one between lovers who did

“It is louder than I imagined,” Rose pointed out as their paces followed the path that led to the main market of the Brunia Pack. “And it appears normal.”“Normal or not,” Rune held her hand more firmly, “these wolves can suddenly decide to spill blood.” His cautious eyes were everywhere. “Stay close to me.”“Okay.” She shifted closer as if their joined hands were not enough for them to survive the crowd. “I need to find a way to make money,” Rune said after seconds of pushing past the people trying to purchase one thing or another. “Otherwise, our time here will be a waste.”“Or we could enter a contest.”“Huh?”She pointed at the banner highly displayed in front of them. “It is a fruit-eating contest. The winner gets two crates of eggs and a half bag of flour and rice.” Rose wondered why her excitement grew as she read out the details. “That is a pretty good deal, isn’t it?”“It is.” He looked hesitant.“Should we leave?” She looked around. “I am sure we can find a quick job to-”He

With a heart racing out of excitement, Rune put on his clothes. He was buttoning his shirt when Rose came to him and helped him with it. His gaze fell on her roughened hair, and he wondered what his mother was thinking. She had no right to send ambushers to inject him with an Eroject, especially when she knew that it was not something he had used before. Grateful that the substance did not halt his heart or something, Rune secretly loved that he got a chance to sexually connect with Rose.He had been loving their conversations; the seriousness and jokes embedded. But since the deal with his mother, he became worried that Rose would not enjoy sex with him as she should because of the pressure to stay alive. He was also concerned that her mind would bother her with the memory of the men who tried to harm her. A soft smile lit his eyes because his concerns were put to shame. “What are you thinking?” she asked, her tender touch patting his chest. “Nothing much.” Rune adjusted her point

Rose was now asleep. After ensuring the heat-padded blanket was keeping the severe chilliness of the night away from her, Rune dimmed the lights in the room and briefly stepped out to converse with Symon.He met the Beta standing not too far from the room. His frown was prominent, his paces were filled with confusion and contemplation. “Shall we have a drink?” Rune walked past the man. “Whiskey or tea?”“Uhm… Tea. You need tea after your long journey.” Symon hurried his steps, and soon, he was in front, leading them to the kitchen. The men sat by the marbled island in the middle of the kitchen while the water for the tea boiled.“She is pregnant with your pup?” Symon voiced the question that was already written on his face. “How did that happen?”“We had sex.”“Right.” Symon crossed his arms. “How else would it happen?”“Have you found potential Doctors?”“I am still scrutinizing my list because I have to consider the current situation.”Rune was already thinking about Rose, he absen
